A Safe Attacked.

On Tuesday night an attempt was
made to rifle the safe of j. c. McMen-
omy on First street. The enterprising
burglar was evidently novice. for
the hole drilled was not more than
three-eighths of an inch in diameter
and was situated two inches back of
the keyhole, too far back to strike any
part of the lock. The hole had been
bored with an instrument similar to
that used in drilling into water mains,
which makes a thread as it enters.
When the store was entered yesterday
a candle was found lying near the
door Of the Office where the safe is
situated, and it was found that the
burglar had entered by means of the
back door. There was about $1,000
worth of checks and 500 in coin in
the safe, and if entrance had been
gained a rich haul would have been
made.

The Ruiz Case.

The matter of the petition OF the
daughter of Mrs. Ruiz to set aside a
conveyance of the Ruiz tract to her
grandson is still before Judge Gardi-
ner. 1t will be remembered that Mrs.
Rosas claimed that the grandson OBJ
tanned deed to property valued at
$50 1000, by means which she thought
were in violation of the law. Some
six years ago Mrs. Ruiz was stricken
with paralysis and it is asserted that
her mind has given away, and that
while in this condition the grandson
obtained the deed to the property. A
large number OF witnesses were ex-
amined yesterday and the case will be
continued this morning.

HABITS OF BATS,

The Gigantic Specimens of the Species
Existing In tho Early Ages.
Among the Jows the bat was an un-
clean animal. while the ancient Greeks
consecrated It TO Proserpine. 1t is
usually associated with dark deeds and
evil Demons were given bat-like
wings by the ancients, and by ma
jority of European nations the animal
has always been looked Upon (among
the superstitious) as an omen OF dis
aster OF bad luck The Chinese, how
ever. seem to have customs the exact
reverse of all other nations, and to
them tho little ''hitter-mouse. as 1t
is sometimes called. is considered a
most auspicious animal. and II one
enters a house or becomes entangled
in lady's hair it is considered the
best of onions. In the Samoan Islands
q similar notion is entertained, and
numbers of the animals are kept as
pets.
In the early geological ages some re-
markable bat-like creatures existed,
though they were in reality reptilesi
vet some found east of the Rocky
Mountains wero, as far as appearances
90, enormous toothless bats. One
American form had spread Of wings
of twenty-five feet Tho romans of
one of these giants can be seen h, the
museum at Yale college, with another
from Europe that is doubtless the most
remarkable fller ever discovered or
even thought of. Unlike its American
cousin. It was small. and resemblod
bat with pclican-like bill armed with
sharp teeth. The tail, however, was
the most wonderful feature. 1t was
longer than the body, and terminated
in veritable paddle that was fac
simile of tennis-rocket, and served
this curious flier as rudder.
The largest of tho bats are the So
called flying foxes. The face and head
much resemble those of the fox, the
eyes being large and lustrous They
are especially common in the Indian
peninsula, and occasion SO much dam
age in some of the islands which con-
tain tain large fruit orchards th vat the
planters arc obliged to cover the trees
with nets. The bats are extremely
large, and when seen hanging from
trees present the appearance Of black
| fruit or seeds. Often as many as 100
will be seen cllnging to one tree, and
so powerful or penetrating is the musky
odoI which they eSude that their pres
ence is announced long before they are
seen.
The habits Of bats, while difficult to
study, are most interesting. Generally
ono or two are produced at birth, the
young clinging to either male or fe-
male, and one at least being carried
about In the air There Is good aus
thority for believing that the female
not only cares for its young, but Is ems
ablcd to provide it with milk from its
PICTORIAL milk glands. The little bats
cling to the parents in various ways,
The male of cheiromeles torquatus has
nursing.pouoh In which ho holds
them, SO relieving the mother and
sometimes, while the mother holds the
young, the male places himself before
her, so that they are perfectly screened
and protected. - Chicago Neics.
